Non-boom mic for Cardo in open face helmet (lemmy.world)

I put a packtalk edge in my wife’s open face helmet so she can listen to music while she’s on the back of the bike. Although you could argue the silence is nice for me, I’d still like her to be able to talk to me also, but she insists the boom mic ruins the aesthetics of the helmet and I get her point. Anyone have experience with just using the button mic or a different microphone in an open face helmet? It’s a Shoei J.O to be specific.

I don’t have direct experience using an open face helmet with a mic but I doubt the button mic will work well unless it’s close to the users mouth. I don’t know where you’d mount it so that she’d be able to talk into it.
